Wrknrvr Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 That bed really is nice. And thanks for all the input during the build. I am sure that will give others some pondering about there future bed build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted May 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Thanks Vern. Having done it once, I would omit a lot of things, and add a few. I caused myself a lot of grief by being overly frugal, or "fiscally sensitive".

rickeieio Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 No problem Kevin. I will say, having done the ECR trip and one more since, the number of horn toots and thumbs up we get with the red truck is amazing. Especially from truckers. I think having the colors tie it together is an eye catcher, almost as good as having a bit of graphics on the truck to blend with the trailer. One thing I've noticed on the bed, I have some of the small button head bolts loosening. I intended the bolted joints to allow some "give", but didn't think the bolts would loosen that much. I'll likely figure out a way to let the problem pieces "float". The two trim panels between the tandems are where the issue lies. Not a stressed piece.

Going to pick her up this week... That looks awesome. I may have to get with Jack and see about getting mine built. I have to do the clutch and a few other things first though.
